Daredevil: Woman Without Fear #3

/ / Comics

Continuing the Devil’s Reign tie-in, Daredevil: Woman Without Fear #3 restarts Elektra‘s fight with Kraven. Actually, we get two different fights between the pair in the first-half of this issue. The first offers a public spectacle where Kraven gets the upper-hand and the second sees Elektra victorious as she stops attempting to be Daredevil and instead returns to her ninja assassin roots.

The action is fast and furious here, and when Kraven falls Aka appears with a threat from the Hand. However, helping explain the large amount of the Elektra/Daredevil flashbacks we’ve seen over three issues, the news of Matt Murdock‘s apparent death (off-panel) rocks Elektra’s world and sends the assassin exactly where the Hand has wanted her all this time – enraged and vengeful after Wilson Fisk.

Elena Federova’s (Morena Baccarin) machinations continue as events in one of the banks lead to uncovering a dark secret of a famous journalist and brings more publicity to the incarcerated criminal who continues to have no trouble leading her complicated scheme from behind bars.

Batman #121

/ / Comics

Batman #121 wraps up the odd three-issue Batman Incorporated arc with Batman revealing to Lex Luthor and Abyss that the various members of Batman, Inc. have been secretly working undercover this entire time (including framing themselves for murder) to get close to Abyss and expose some of Lex Luthor’s shenanigans. Oh, and since they never actually signed contracts to work for Luthor (seems like a pretty big oversight), he has no control over the group. To call the reveal awkward doesn’t really do it justice.

In any case, the members of Batman, Inc. switch sides and stand with Batman against Abyss. The comic limps home to a finish with Batman tracking the escaping villain and by teasing the next big arc for Batman on his return home with a cameo by Deathstroke and the latest version of the Secret Society of Super-Villains.
